Transformers?

Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. 2 Corinthians 11:15

If a wooden plank door transforms itself into a powerful machine then we might be impressed. (Sorry, there was this odd dream.) However, there is a far more awesome transformation coming for those who believe in Jesus. Here in our verse for today Paul speaks of a transformation often seen among politicians during their election runs. The opponent will of course paint a slightly different picture for us. Which one is correct is often up to the voters to determine. That most of our past few presidents have been elected by small margins speaks to how difficult it is for us to determine the real from the transformation presented to us. And with such little observations we are off down the bunny trail. But that transformation promised in the Word though? Here was a man who had lived, been scourged and beaten, crucified, and checked with a mortal stroke of the lance, and lived again. What did He tell the doubter, Thomas? Stick your hand into my side and believe. That dreadful wound was still there, and yet He lived! 

As His Spirit renews our minds daily, and as He will do when we exit this earthly corruption, be ye transformed by our Lord Christ!
